At the detour. A/E got bent out of shape.

K/R made the strategic move to cash out their ep.

Welcome to Nelson... this storybook setting will be start of leg.

11:15am Zed and Shabbir leave - make your way to the great wall of china in Beijing.

K/I leave at 11:31am

AA leave at 11:37. $650 for this leg of the race wow.

S/P leave at 11:58am

K/N 12:04pm
 
KR 12:26pm

AE 12:31 pm

even though they finished at same time.

All teams are travelling to Vancouver. They must then go to the Sinorama travel office to get their travel pacakage. This explains the sightings in Vancouver!

Now back to the airport. All teams are on the same flight. First location again is the great wall.

KI first out in Beijing.

KI is not happy that the taxi driver is so slow. She tells him to go faster. He is going 5km a hour.

AA arrive first to the Wall.

Clue: You have it a wall! Give a walking tour using three languages: English, French and Chinse.  When done correctly the Sinorama tour guide will give them the next clue.

Maybe something to do with birds? First leg had the owl.
I thought it was a Falcon, unless you're talking about the Pit Stop

It was less "messy" than the article made the leg sound., the taxi thing was mostly the usual random TAR cab-luck combined with language barrier for non-English-speaking countries.
[Still would love to learn how they'd do leg, if the team without visas had survived up to this point - that's still too weird - but it has no direct impact on the leg, so end of this aside]

As expected they always find a way to tie it to Canada with the embassy visit.

Loved the Chinese Medicine task. It felt very familiar, I think we've seen a similar task elsewhere.

Curious if arrival times difference will actually allow teams to have different trains to Shanghai, or if that will just become another bunch point.

I'm proud of this cast for nobody even uttering the P-word since the first task.

And now that I say it, watch a three-way quit happen next week :lol:
